On April 15, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that new export license requirements would be imposed on NVIDIA's H20, AMD's MI308, and comparable AI chips destined for China. These measures, part of the U.S. export control regime, necessitate manufacturers to secure a license before exporting these chips to China. Given China's significance as a key market for H20 chips, this ban is likely to render the export restrictions permanently effective.
